I hardly know anything about electronics and its been more then 10 years, in highschool, since I soldered. So I'd like to know if this setup will work before I start buying stuff: abbreviations: (CN)controller (s)strip (AM)amplifier (p)power supply
(s_5)-(s_6)-(AM)-(s_1)-(CN)-(s_2)-(s_3)-(AM#2)-(s_4)

(p)
s : dummy RGB 5050 led strip @ 72w/5m 6a/5m
p : 36A 12 Volt DC power supply

Login Questions:
1. The controller has 3 outputs. Couldn't I just use two outputs and couple strips 2 & 3, as above, instead of running a separate rgb wire extension to strip 3?
2. Its taken me a while to just find, calculate and plan this setup. After I get this up and working I'd like to get a little more sophisticaed so can anyone suggest a comparable DMX or any other controllers (that may or ideally may centralize power and convey it via cat5 cable) and HW that will work with SMART IC RGB strip pixels with a music sensor that would animate/display led chases and other neat effects based on music tempo, frequency, etc etc without having to pre-program the choreography of pixels to specific songs with software. Something I can just buy and put together for simple ceiling perimeter lighting that will work once its put together, turned on and animate once music starts to play.
3. Since I didn't know any better I bought a 12A music led controller already by mistake what happens if I try to connect 3 6A strips to this controller as so?
(strip_1)-(controller)-(strip_2)-(strip_3) [strip2&3 are coupled]
